This includes, in the context of antibiotic susceptibility testing, strains such as beta-lactamase producing E. coli. [9] MALDI-TOF is rapid and automated. [9] There are limitations to testing in this format however; results may not match the results of phenotypic testing, [9] and acquisition and maintenance is expensive. [25]
In a bacterium without the proper mutation(s) in rpoB rifampicin binds to a site near the fork in the β subunit and prevents the polymerase from transcribing more than two or three base pairs of any RNA sequence and stopping production of proteins within the cell.
β 1 and β 2, or beta-1 and beta-2, adrenergic receptors; Beta, a rank in a community of social animals; See Alpha; Beta carbon, in organic chemistry—the second carbon atom in a chain when counting from a functional group; See Alpha and beta carbon; Beta cell, a type of cell in the pancreas, which produces insulin; Beta sheet, a secondary ...
The beta is nearly identical to the actual game itself, but includes items that are on their way to being released in the full game. The purpose of this beta is to test those items before their release, to ensure that they are balanced and fair; in this way, the game is constantly being playtested despite the fact that it has been released.

The purpose of this technique is to analyze the activity of a gene transcription promoter (in terms of expression of a so-called reporter gene under the regulatory control of that promoter) either in a quantitative manner, involving some measure of activity, or qualitatively (on versus off) through visualization of its activity in different cells, tissues, or organs.
Beta-hemolysis (β-hemolysis), sometimes called complete hemolysis, is a complete lysis of red cells in the media around and under the colonies: the area appears lightened (yellow) and transparent. [1] Streptolysin, an exotoxin, is the enzyme produced by the bacteria which causes the complete lysis of red blood cells. There are two types of ...
The Betaproteobacteria comprise over 75 genera and 400 species. [2] Together, they represent a broad variety of metabolic strategies and occupy diverse environments, ranging from obligate pathogens living within host organisms to oligotrophic groundwater ecosystems.
Beta-secretase 1, also known as beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1, beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), membrane-associated aspartic protease 2, memapsin-2, aspartyl protease 2, and ASP2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BACE1 gene. [5] Expression of BACE1 is observed mainly in neurons and oligodendrocytes. [6]
